European Commission publishes amended Annex XVII of REACH

On 10th February 2012, the European Commission published the amended Annex XVII of REACH including a restriction for 138 classified nickel substances, thereby preventing their sale for consumer use (Commission Regulation 109/2012). As they are used in industrial processes only, the Nickel Institute does not foresee a direct impact on the current production, marketing and use of these nickel substances following this publication.
